| Since purchasing my certified 2001 mustang gt (used) i have had problems with the steering pulling to the left during driving and/or braking. i took it to ford 8 times and finally they said it was the cambers and casters. after having it for a year i have had to continuously put steering fluid in. now ford has discovered that something called the steering rack was broke and leaking. also, the emergency break had become loose. and now there is a problem with a whining and swaying in the rear end. so far they can't find out what the whining is and found that the wheel bears were locking up. a diagnosis hasn't been made at this moment and it's still with ford for 4 days. *nlm | |||

| Consumer states that while driving over 40 mph and applying the brakes, the steering wheel will rock side to side vibrating heavily and it will become hard for the consumer to control the vehicle. dealer has been notified. mr the consumer states while braking to a normal stop, the vehicle unexpectedly will pull to the right. at various speeds navigating a slight right turn, the vehicle pulls to the left if you touch the brake pedal. the consumer noticed a puddle of lubricant under the vehicle and saw that lubricant was sprayed all about the chasis. ford replaced the hydraulic brake booster. the vehicle continued to pull. the dealer are unsure of exactly what the problem was, they also checked a bulletin which states check the alignment, which was reset-was off, and the rear air press to 25 ps. the consumer doesn't drive the vehicle far since they never found the problem. *scc | |||
